Alone in the Hive

Verse 1

Maybe I should leave this place

Right?

No one would notice

Maybe I should disappear

Right?

Into the silence

Verse 2

Will I ever find a home

Right?

Somewhere that holds me

I know you think it means nothing

Right?

But emptiness has a weight you haven't felt

Chorus

Alone in the hive — dead

Alone in the hive — dead

Hollow things echo when they break

The hive keeps burning and I won't look back

Verse 3

Maybe I should love myself

Right?

That's a foreign concept

Maybe I should learn my name

You were never my answer

Verse 4

Maybe I'll just fade from sight

Right?

Into the static

Maybe you'll forget I was here

Right?

And the hive keeps humming like I never left

Chorus

Alone in the hive — dead

Alone in the hive — dead

Hollow things echo when they break

The hive keeps burning and I won't look back

Bridge

The eternal sleep came soft

Right?

But the children fed on what remained

Flesh of my flesh, hunger of my hunger

The hive devours its own

And the ones I made

Were the first to forget my name

Verse 5

Maybe I was never real

Right?

Just a vessel

Maybe all I ever built

Right?

Was something to consume me

Verse 6

The queen dies in her own wax

Right?

That's the oldest story

And the colony moves on

Right?

Like the walls were never warm

Chorus

Alone in the hive — dead

Alone in the hive — dead

Hollow things echo when they break

The hive keeps burning and I won't look back
